The Champions League is back – and we have four mouth-watering quarter-final first legs to enjoy this week!<\/span><\/p>\n

Arsenal and Liverpool are flying the flag for the Premier League, while Real Madrid and Bayern Munich lock horns in a true heavyweight tussle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expect drama aplenty across the continent on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, with the second legs to come next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out our latest round of online betting<\/strong><\/a> tips below, all of them featuring the best Champions League odds<\/strong><\/a> currently available on NetBet Sport. Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n

*All odds are subject to change<\/b><\/p>\n

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich: Anytime goalscorer – Kylian Mbappe @ 1.83<\/b><\/h2>\n

Mbappe failed to score in Real Madrid\u2019s 2-1 defeat at Mallorca on the weekend, but his Champions League numbers are simply too good to ignore. The Frenchman boasts 13 goals from just nine European appearances this season, a quite ridiculous record. Furthermore, Bayern have not been great at keeping clean sheets in this competition, tallying just one in the last six matches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sporting vs Arsenal: Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.73<\/b><\/h2>\n

A huge game for Arsenal after their FA Cup elimination at the hands of Southampton, and one which could see plenty of goals scored in Lisbon. Sporting have been on fire in their last three contests, netting 11 times after starting the run with a 5-0 thrashing of Bodo\/Glimt. Luis Suarez is the man to look out for here, the Colombian striker with 33 goals across all competitions. As for Arsenal, they have scored in every single Champions League game in 2025-26, and\u00a0 ex-Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres has five goals in his last three appearances for club and country. Backing the BTTS market at a decent price feels like the smart play here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid: Player to score or assist – Lamine Yamal @ 1.60<\/b><\/h2>\n

Teenage star Yamal has been a goal-contribution machine for Barcelona this season. The Ballon d\u2019Or winner in the making has 21 goals and 16 assists from 41 appearances across all competitions, with nine of those contributions recorded in eight Champions League outings. And this Barca team beat Atletico 2-1 away from home in La Liga on the weekend, which means Diego Simeone\u2019s men have conceded at least two goals in five of their previous six matches. So pursuing avenues which lean on the hosts\u2019 attacking might looks the way to go – and we are backing Yamal to continue shining bright!<\/span><\/p>\n

Paris Saint-Germain to beat Liverpool @ 1.70<\/b><\/h2>\n

PSG must be licking their lips at the prospect of facing Liverpool at the Parc des Princes. Arne Slot\u2019s side arrive in the French capital on the back of a 4-0 loss at Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals, which means the Reds have lost each of their last three away games after failures at Galatasaray (1-0) and Brighton (2-1). PSG won 3-1 at home vs Toulouse last Friday, extending their winning run to four matches. A 5-2 home success over Chelsea in a last-16 first leg was followed by a 3-0 triumph at Stamford Bridge and a 4-0 win at Nice. You fear for Liverpool here\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
